Advising

Dr. Whitefield currently supports and advises one post-doctoral fellow, five graduate students (three in chemistry and two in chemical engineering) and typically up to 10-15 undergraduate research assistants.  Two students have completed doctoral degrees under his supervision and two students have completed their masters degree.  He has served as, or is serving as, a committee member for a total of 12 graduate students.
